Gold bars worth more than £4million have been seized by UK authorities at Heathrow Airprt. Investigators launched the case after the haul, weighing more than 16 stone, was recovered by the Border Force following intelligence received by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
It was shaped in bars, cylinders and hearts and was en route from Venezuela to Switzerland via the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean, reports The Mirror.
It was held under the Proceeds of Crime Act, and the NCA obtained a recovery order allowing investigators to take possession of it.
